Fire Emblem Characters get a Demonic Redesign in The New Shin Megami Tensei

Well, except for Tiki. She gets to be Hatsune Miku Genei Ibun Roku ♯FE is a crossover game between the Shin Megami Tensei series and the Fire Emblem series. However, this time, the “devils” summoned by our Shin Megami Tensei heroes aren’t devils at all, but rather demonic re-imaginings of some of Fire Emblem’s most…

Square Enix Just Disappointed the Hell Out of Dragon Quest Fans 

Today in Japan, Square Enix held a Dragon Quest-themed press conference to mark the 30th anniversary of the series. It sucked. Square Enix assembled the Japanese gaming press (Famitsu took the above photo) and streamed the whole thing online. People, obviously, had expectations. They were soon crushed. At the start, Square Enix announced there wouldn’t…

League Of Legends Has A New Champion: Jhin

Riot today unveiled the newest addition to the League of Legends roster: Jhin. He’s “meticulous and calculating – League’s slowest marksman yet”. The gist being that he takes time to kick ass, but when given the time, kicks a lot of ass. You can read his full breakdown here Here’s a teaser Riot released last…

The Concept Art Of XCOM 2

XCOM 2 isn’t out yet, but the game’s hardcover art book is, and the publishers were kind enough to pass some images along to Fine Art for a little showcase of the Firaxis artist’s work. There’s a nice mix here of character art, environment stuff and even some animation tests, which we don’t get to…

Element Is An RTS For People Who Don’t Have Time For RTS Games

Element describes itself as “a realtime strategy space game for people who don’t have time to play realtime strategy space games.” I like where this is going. With a low-fi feel and a reasonably simple setup, Element is a strategy game stripped back to the bare essentials. You only have a handful of buildings to…

This video catalogues the best of them. I love the mix! Yes, there is film-quality cosplay on show, but there are also a…

I hadn’t heard about The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human until a few minutes ago, but apparently it comes out on January 19?! Looks a bit like In The Hunt, combined with Metroid and Shadow of the Colossus? Nice combo! Here’s a trailer.

Smite‘s Amaterasu Might Not Be A Wolf, But She Sure Fights Like One

The first god in the Japanese pantheon launched in deity-powered MOBA Smite today, and while she might not be the Amaterasu many gamers are familiar with, she’s just as fierce. She’s definitely not the white wolf of Capcom’s outstanding action adventure game, but then Amaterasu traditionally isn’t. She’s the daughter of the great god Izanagi,…

EA Access, a subscription program that allows people to play and download a variety of Electronic Arts games, is coming to PC, the publisher said today.

Players Duped By Steam’s Winter Sale ‘ARG’ Send Valve An Actual Red Herring

Steam’s big winter sale included an alternate reality game that… really wasn’t. After following a rather unsatisfying breadcrumb trail, players unlocked a Steam badge titled “Red Herring.” Very funny, Valve. Now, though, joke’s on them. A member of the subreddit dedicated to untangling Valve’s web of steamy secrets confirmed that a) they sent Valve some…
